THE WISDOM SCHOOL AT SAINT MARK'S
Spirituality of the Meal: Our Daily Bread
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2023, 9:30 A.M.–1 P.M., registration required
The act of feeding ourselves and sharing food with others is a daily necessity. It can also provide opportunities to deepen our spiritual paths and practices. In this morning session led by Marc Aubertin and Deborah Person, we will explore how, in practice, we connect our faith to the daily work of providing “daily bread”. How does our theology of abundance play out in the grocery store? How do we model God’s love for us, nurturing others and ourselves, while caring for creation through supporting a just food system? The day will also include putting our ideas of abundance and stewardship into action by preparing a meal together with food that participants bring from home—either from their gardens or their pantry shelves. Fee: $10. In-person only. Limit 12 participants. Register using this link.

2023 Strategic Planning: Focus Group Spotlight
On April 2023, the Vestry formed a committee to consider the priorities and focus of the Cathedral for the next 18–24 months as Saint Mark discerns what it means to be Church in a post-pandemic world. In July 2023, a committee of 12 formed the 2023 Strategic Planning Committee co-chaired by Emily Meeks and Alexandra Thompson. The Committee is using the lens of "transformation," adapted from the College of Congregational Development, to inform the process of discovery and planning. As people of faith, we are about the work of spiritual transformation – of responding to God’s presence in our lives in the ways we live, move and have being. Transformation can take shape in new ways or deepen an expression of ministry. The “Sources of Transformation” model shows that there are consistent aspects of congregational life that can serve as means of transformation and flow into one another. The committee members will work in focus groups, using the 2023 Ministry Guide to reach out to ministries within Saint Mark's to collect feedback and input from October to early January. Parishioners will also have an opportunity to participate in a parish-wide survey for individual responses (coming soon).
October Focus Group Spotlight: Life in Community
in the togetherness, how we experience the sharing of meals, conversation, story, silence and connection
Members of this group include Seyi Akanni, Michael Kleinschmidt, and Emily Meeks. As part of this work, members will be gathering and sharing resources related to the source of transformation. Check out this resource: Intergenerational worksheet
A new focus group will be highlighted the second Friday of each month. If you have any questions, please reach out to Strategic Planning Co-chairs Emily Meeks and Alexandra Thompson: StrategicPlanning@saintmarks.org

THIS SUNDAY, OCTOBER 8, 10:10–10:50 A.M., Bloedel Hall

Presenters will explore practices of the Spirit, and actions we can all take to nourish the planet. Be prepared to touch the roots of hope, community, and joy.

Part city park, part city neighborhood, part urban greenway and forest, we'll walk 2.5 miles through the north Capitol Hill area. Hopefully, the fall colors will be glowing by then! This is a nice follow-on to the recent tour of the Saint Mark's Greenbelt and a great opportunity to enjoy nature in the city. Occurs rain or shine.

Rethinking Poverty: Faith, Place, and Relationality
TWO WEDNESDAYS, OCTOBER 11 & 18, 2023, 6:45–8:15 P.M., in person in Bloedel Hall or Online via Zoom. Optional community dinner at 6 p.m. ($6/child; $8/adult; $25/max. family)
Poverty is perhaps one of the most pressing issues of our time. Across two weeks, we will explore impoverishment with Saint Mark's parishioner Sarah Elwood, one of the co-authors of Abolishing Poverty, a book published in August. Sarah will share from her own lived experience (both personal and scholarly), about the power of relationship and the impact of unidentified boundaries in the landscape of our understanding. What role does faith play in our response to impoverishment? How might our relationships, with God and with one another, transform our understanding of the complex causes of impoverishment, and shape our collective learning and actions across boundaries of many kinds? Sarah is Professor of Geography at the University of Washington, and co-founder of the Relational Poverty Network, a transnational interdisciplinary group of scholars working in the field of relational poverty studies. Join online using this Zoom link.

Climate Conversation for October: Save Money by Caring for Creation
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 6:30–7:30 P.M., online via Zoom
It seems like buying climate-friendly food and clothing, installing devices to use less carbon-spewing energy and doing more to care for creation would be costly. In reality, the opposite is true. You can save money by consciously caring for creation. We’ll discuss how to buy groceries and clothes in ways that save money. We’ll look at alternatives that can save energy or use less water. And we’ll take advantage of the insights on the Saint Mark’s Carbon Tracker to learn to do more. Our discussion will focus around how to spend less while caring for creation more. These Climate Conversations are offered viz Zoom on the second Thursday of each month. See video and materials from previous conversations here.

A Stewardship Reflection
As this year's Stewardship season gets underway, committee member Amanda Davis offers the final installment in the series of Gratitude Reflections.

Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome here.
I have always loved these words, which we hear each week before coming together at God's table. They convey not only a feeling of welcome, but of recognition that both faith and life itself are journeys. There are times we feel great connection—to God and to our community, seeing God's abundance and joyfully participating in various ministries. At other times, we may find ourselves in a period of wilderness and struggle, when we need to rely on our community to lift us up. Wherever you are, you are seen, you are valued, and you are invited in.
This year's Stewardship theme is Pilgrims Together: Moving Forward in Faith. Pilgrimage provides an opportunity for active reflection and can transform our connections with God, with nature, with ourselves, and with each other. Walking the same paths as myriad pilgrims before us, it is both a deeply personal and incredibly communal act. This stewardship season, I invite you to reflect not only on where you, and Saint Mark's, are now, but ways we can be transformed together through the gifts we share.
Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome at Saint Mark's, and we are grateful for your presence in this community.
—Amanda Davis

Make a Qualified Charitable Distribution to Support Saint Mark’s
A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a tax-efficient way for individuals who are 70½ years or older to donate funds directly from their Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to a qualified charity like Saint Mark’s Cathedral. It offers several advantages, including reducing your taxable income and meeting your required minimum distribution (RMD) obligations. Making a QCD can be a savvy way to support charitable causes in retirement while enjoying potential tax benefits, but it's essential to follow IRS rules to avoid penalties. Please consult with a tax advisor or financial professional to ensure compliance with current tax regulations.

"Your people is my people..."—Studying the Book of Ruth with St. Luke's, Renton
TUESDAY NIGHTS, NOVEMBER 7–28, 6:30–7:30 P.M., online via Zoom only (link to be provided later)
St. Luke's Renton has extended an invitation to the cathedral community for a Hebrew Scripture Bible Study on the Book of Ruth in November. This book in the Hebrew canon of Ketuvim ("writings") tells the story of Ruth, whose mother-in-law, Naomi, loses her husband and both of her sons. While urging her daughters-in-law to return to their families, Ruth decides instead, to follow Naomi to her country. Participants will learn about the style of writing, its placement in the biblical canon of both Christians and Jews, Levirate marriage, why there are no bad people in this book, and why ‘people’ is singular in Hebrew. We will also learn a bit of Hebrew, all while reading one of the most beloved stories in the Hebrew Scriptures. This offering may make an interesting complement to the Radix Project series on Ruth and Esther starting this month. Participation is open to all. Please contact Carter Mears at: chmears@mac.com
